Kashmir Shaivism and the Transformation of Life
Swami Lakshmanjoo’s revelation of Abhinavagupta’s Bodhapañcadaśikā —“Fifteen Verses of Wisdom.”
Course Overview
Embark on a journey of discovery and rediscovery through the illuminating teachings of Swami Lakshmanjoo, as he reveals the essence of Abhinavagupta’s Bodhapañcadaśikā — a concise yet profound text that explores the nature of reality and our place within it.
Swamiji was inspired to explain these verses because they express the very heart of Kashmir Shaivism — the recognition that everything in this universe is a manifestation of one divine Consciousness.
Through these seven video sessions, Swamiji leads us into the “mystical geography of awareness,” showing that the diversity of life is not separate from the supreme light of Consciousness. These teachings not only explain reality with remarkable clarity but also offer the means by which we can directly experience it.
Many participants have described this course as life-transforming, offering a living and practical insight into the wisdom of Kashmir Shaivism.
